Emotion-awareness for intelligent vehicle assistants: A research agenda

Abstract

EVA1 is describing a new class of emotion-aware autonomous systems delivering intelligent personal assistant functionalities. EVA requires a multi-disciplinary approach, combining a number of critical building blocks into a cybernetics systems/software architecture: emotion aware systems and algorithms, multimodal interaction design, cognitive modelling, decision making and recommender systems, emotion sensing as feedback for learning, and distributed (edge) computing delivering cognitive services.
